Ludhiana: Man along with family open fire at neighbour for objecting to their dog defecating in front of his house

Chandigarh: A man has been booked after he opened fire at his neighbours who were annoyed by the antics of his dog. Police said that the accused’s neighbor had objected after the man’s dog defecated near his house on Thursday night, which led to an argument, as reported by the IndianExpress.

On Friday morning, the man, his father, and other accomplices allegedly went to his neighbor’s house and opened fire twice with a 32-bore weapon. Two bullet shells were recovered by the police from the site of the incident, as reported by the IndianExpress.

The accused in the case have been identified as Vijay Gambhir, his son Siddharth Gambhir and their unidentified accomplices. According to the complainant, Raman Kapoor, his father had gone for a walk around the same time that Vijay and his wife were walking their dog as well, reported the IndianExpress.

“My father objected when their pet dog defecated near our house. This led to an argument with Vijay abusing my father. I rushed out and intervened, following which they left the spot. But before leaving Vijay threatened that his son will not spare us,” Raman said, as reported by the IndianExpress.

He further added that later the next day after the argument, four men — including Siddharth Gambhir turned up at their house and started damaging their window panes. “When I came out, the accused opened fire at me. He wanted to hit me but missed. When we raised the alarm and tried to fight back, the accused fired another shot and fled from the spot,” said Raman, as reported by the Indian Express.

A video of the incident was also recorded by family members who were present during the incident and the same has been submitted to the police as evidence. Inspector Davinder Sharma, SHO, division number 7 police station, said that the police have registered an FIR under Section 307 of IPC against the accused. They are yet to be arrested. “There was a minor argument over the dog defecating near the house of the complainant last night. The argument escalated and finally culminated in the firing incident,” he said, as reported by the IndianExpress.
